1994 940 volvo does not go in reverse. Its constantly in drive even in park. when in reverse the back up lights are on but still in drive.. Do i need a new tranny or hopefully a much much cheaper fix? please help i love the car

Various help here, but as the reversing lights don't work, my guess is an intermittent fault in the shift lever switch.

Hi, Do take the car back to the Volvo outlet that serviced your car & tell them what you wrote here if they worked before the car went into the garage then they have to sort the problem FREE of charge don't wait any longer quicker the better as they will not want to own up very quick. Please leave me feed back: Malcolm Campbell, Thanks.

Is it only when you go from park to reverse? Or is it just as bad going from neutral to reverse? I've noticed on mine that it's often tight if I park on even a slight slope. If it only happens when going from park to reverse, try this. Hold your foot on the brake, and put the car in drive. Keeping constant pressure on the brake, go back to park, then back into drive. Did you feel the stiffness when you had your foot on the brake?

Yes. Check your body grounds also and make sure they are clean and tight.

your problem lies in the internal parts of your transmission which are the clutch linings, they are already worn out and starts to slide.

have the mechanic recheck his adjustments on the transmission range switch. the shifter shaft goes right throug the switch and it may have been adjusted or replaced when the backup lights were repaired

look at the sockets where the bulbs go into the back up lights and note the colour of the wires

check for worn joints in the propshaft

I am not 100% but this should be a good place to start and it will cost you nothing. You need to get under the car. You will see that there is a thin long shaft that is theaded on the end. It should have a rubber gromet at the connector. I believe that your gromet is worn out or perhaps you need to simple adjust the threaded end to be tight as your shifter is traveling to far. I am not an expert, but I have been all over my 960 for the past 261K miles and 10 years of ownership.

Good luck.

You need to Check the Tension on the Belt. If this is Even a Little loose it will Cause this Problem and these Dummy Lights.
